What I think you could do is the followings: - switch to using 8.4 - load your files in a *local* database - pg_dump -Fc - now pg_restore -j X on the amazon setup That way you will be using COPY rather than INSERTs and parallel loading built-in pg_restore (and optimisations of when to add the indexes and constraints). The X is to choose depending on the IO power and the number of CPU...
